He was such a big part of making Potrero Chico what it is as a climbing destination.
He picked Justthemaid and I up in Monterrey for our honeymoon and we stayed at a casita arranged by him for 10 wonderful days.
Condolences to family and friends.

So sorry to hear this!
Went to his house and bought a guidebook about 10 years ago.
He was super welcoming and so proud to share the Potrero with people. he chatted with us for quite awhile about the place, the climbing, the culture and how he ended up there. We saw him and his wife Tammy (sp?) quite a bit thru our stay and they were always beacons of positivity. My deepest condolences to her and all those that were close.

Climb on Magic Ed.
I have more stories about Ed than I could possibly bore you guys with. From 2004 to 2009 I spent at least three months a year down there. Got to climb with Ed quite a few times. He always had a project or two that needed attention and spent countless days putting up new long routes for the masses to enjoy. I was lucky enough to be asked to climb some of them by Ed. How hard? Does it need more bolts? Is it clean enough? He always strove for making his lines clean, safe, and mostly moderate. Truly a climbers climber.
Tami and the rest that new him well, take pride in what he gave back to the climbing community. I know he did.

Damn shame. I met him years ago in EPC and had a great evening sharing stories (mostly his).

Whoh, always sorry to see the community lose a good man. Ed seemed as selfless as they come. Not sure it's OK to ask, but how did Ed pass?

Condolence, to family and friends around the world & to all who had the good fortune to climb with the magic man.... His lines remain. . . to one of a kind, and a retro-modern master.
